Dreamliner Will Also Be On The Ramp At Le Bourget
Boeing's two new 747-8 airplane models ... the Intercontinental
passenger version and the Freighter version ... will make their
international debuts at the Paris Air Show, joining the 787
Dreamliner as highlights of the company's presence during the show.
Also on display at the biennial aerospace exhibition, which begins
June 20 at Le Bourget, will be an Air Berlin 737-700 with the new
Boeing Sky Interior, a Qatar Airways Boeing 777-200LR – the
longest-range passenger jetliner in the world – the C-17
Globemaster III military airlifter, the F-15E Strike Eagle
multi-role fighter jet, and the CH-47F Chinook heavy-lift
helicopter.
747-8 Intercontinental
"We are excited to bring to the Paris Air Show the world's
newest and most innovative family of commercial airplanes," said
Tom Downey, senior vice president, Boeing Communications. "We also
are proud to highlight the capabilities of our defense business. We
are looking forward to meeting with customers, partners, and others
in the aerospace community as the industry recovery continues."
747-8 Freighter
The 747-8 Intercontinental passenger jet, sporting its
distinctive "Sunrise" livery, will arrive June 19, just three
months after its first flight, and be on static display until the
evening of June 21. The 747-8 Freighter will arrive June 20 and be
on display for the following two days. Boeing will deliver the
first 747-8 freighter to Cargolux later this summer. The first
747-8 Intercontinental will be delivered in the fourth quarter to a
VIP customer, and Lufthansa will be the first airline to receive an
Intercontinental in early 2012.
Dreamliner ZA001
The 787 flight-test airplane ZA001 featuring the full Dreamliner
livery will be on static display June 22-23. Launch customer ANA
will receive its first 787 in August or September.
